Dior Slides Are Poolside Shoes With A Couture Address

Dior slides are recognizable by an embroidered band and a molded footbed, which is why they read as house shoes and not generic pool slides. I go through the Dway, Dior Bow and Dio(r)evolution slides.

The Prada chino blouson jacket is one gathered-waist shape that Prada also cuts in poplin, denim and Re-Nylon. I go through the blousons, then the tailored hopsack, taffeta, caban and leather jackets beside them.

Ceramide Cream for Eczema: Oat and Barrier Creams I Trust

Ceramide Cream for Eczema: Oat and Barrier Creams I Trust

A ceramide cream for eczema should be plain, rich and calming, like ILIA Barrier Build Skin Protectant Cream, a moisturizer with ceramides. I pair creams with gentle washes and in-shower balms, then build a routine you will use twice a day.

Sunscreen That Sits under Makeup: What Actually Works

Sunscreen That Sits under Makeup: What Actually Works

An SPF that works well under makeup goes on clear and does not pill, like Tatcha's Silk Sunscreen or EltaMD UV Clear tinted. I cover texture, how to layer concealer, blush and powder on top, and why reapplying matters more than a higher SPF.

How to Find the Right Shampoo for Your Hair Type

Dresses for 60 Degree Weather: One Anchor Piece, Two Colors

Dresses for 60 Degree Weather: One Anchor Piece, Two Colors

Dresses for 60 degree weather work best when you pick one anchor piece, keep the palette to two colors and let the shoes set the formality. I sort the picks into easy daytime dresses and dressed up looks for after six.

Dressing in Morandi Colors

Dressing in Morandi Colors

Morandi colors are dusty blue, sage, stone and taupe, the soft shades of a Giorgio Morandi still life. I would wear them together this fall in knits, skirts, trousers, bags and shoes.

Restyle Old Clothes With Vintage Accessories

Restyle Old Clothes With Vintage Accessories

Vintage accessories restyle old clothes: clip-on earrings, silk scarves and belts are the cheapest way to make an outfit feel new. I show how I use each one on clothes I already own.

Prada Paradoxe and the Rest of the Prada Counter

Prada Paradoxe and the Rest of the Prada Counter

How many Prada Paradoxe are there: five, from the original Eau de Parfum to Intense, Radical Essence, Virtual Flower and Sweet Chemistry. I smell the original against its siblings at the end of the day, then move on to the Prada fragrances to try next.

One Good Coat Or Three: How To Spend A Designer Outerwear Budget

One good coat or three: spend the whole outerwear budget once on a heavy coat, or spread it across jackets and likely wear only one. I compare designer coats that run into four figures with jackets, and say what makes a coat worth its price.

Marrakshi Life started in 2013 when photographer Randall Bachner and Nicholas Minucciani moved from New York to Marrakech to work with local weavers on traditional flatbed looms. This edit sorts the maxi dresses built for a trip from the shirts and trousers likely to keep earning a spot at home.

Legres Boots: London Label Made in Italy by Anonymous Founders

Legres Boots: London Label Made in Italy by Anonymous Founders

Legres launched in London in 2019 from three co-founders who chose to stay anonymous, letting the boots, made in Italy over a year of development, do the talking instead. This edit lines up the current range of Chelsea boots, ankle boots and loafers so the differences in shape and material are easy to compare.

Staud Spring 2026 puts the focus on the hem, with elaborate lace borders that define the movement of a garment. I style the Staud silk dresses, tops and shorts with a cardigan, a maxi skirt and a bandeau.

Everyday and Travel Bags: Totes, Crossbodies and Beach Bags

Everyday and Travel Bags: Totes, Crossbodies and Beach Bags

The best everyday travel bag has a strap drop that clears a winter coat and a material that wears well. I sort totes, crossbodies, a beach bag and travel pieces by what actually decides it, with notes on what is worth the money.

Comfortable Heels Exist, and They Are Mostly Under Three Inches

Comfortable Heels Exist, and They Are Mostly Under Three Inches

Yes, comfortable heels exist: under about three inches the foot stays in a position it can sustain, and a wide base spreads the load. I look at height, toe shape and kitten heels from By Far, Cult Gaia and Isabel Marant.

Perfume and home fragrance picks here run from perfume mists and eaux de parfum to a fragrance set, candles and diffusers. Test on skin and wait an hour, because the opening is not what you will smell like.
